Book Reviews of Awake in the Heartland: The Ecstasy of What Is
Book Review: This book changed my life.
Summary: 5 Stars
Awake in the Heartland changed my life. I had been practicing Buddhism for 20 years but never understood that the mirage character (what I call 'me') was not the one to wake up. Also that the path is not about trying harder, as most religions encourage, but about relaxing into what is. It gave me completely new insights as to the way to work. I bought two of the books--one as a loaner--as mine is now completely marked up. It's full of life experiences, not just theory, and resulted in uproarious laughter at many points. I would recommend to anyone who is interested in the spiritual path. It turns it upside down. It turns it from a demand into a joy, and it's fun reading.
Summary of Awake in the Heartland: The Ecstasy of What Is
Awake in the Heartland offers clear non-dual understanding, not in the abstract, but grounded in the actuality of daily life with all its messiness, complexity, uncertainty, paradox, and apparent imperfection. If there seems to be a gap between what the enlightenment books describe and what you find in your own life, if you still think enlightenment is something that will happen to you in the future (or not at all), if you're still chasing experiences or self-improvement, then this book may be just what you need to wake up to the truth that what you are seeking is already here. Awake in the Heartland takes a fresh look at questions of addiction, free will, good and evil, authority, and identity. It encourages the reader to look for themselves without clinging to old opinions or relying on outside authorities. Honest, funny, and profound, this is a book that invites you to discover who or what you really are.Personal Transformation Books
